    Have some streaching excercises and going good.

    its 13 weeks complete since my surgery on 26th May 16. 6weeks cast , @6 wweeks with support and just started wakling with out support.

    Initially i got lot of swelling when ever i tried walking .. that was in week 8 to week 10.... then i rested , for a couple of weeks and then things started changing.. and I cud feel I cud walk... I did not hear any noise but had a very hard time walking,,, knee did hurt and still does ...

    I have gained lot of confidence and look to be good to walk normally in a month time. cheers.....you will have a good recovery too.
